Don't you have the splitter in reverse?

Speculation: When the TV is turned back on, it renegotiates the HDMI connection with whatever is connected. I think what you're seeing is that the cable box responds the fastest out of all the devices you have chattering on the splitter and therefore it "wins" the connection to the TV.

It's an HDMI Switch. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0049S6ZUS/ 3 inputs, one output (to the TV). I think the cable box times out after some period of time while the Chromecast is always chattering so it wins the connection. Maybe. It's not been enough of an annoyance for me to even read the instructions to the switch box. ;-) Cheers, Scott.
